Kurt,
make sure you have the latest camera raw plugin
here is a link to camera raw candidate (beta)
4.5http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_4.5
and here is a link to camera raw

To me it seems that the real problem here is not so much the lack of a
visual reference, gray balance and pure hue targets, which we had
strapped on a drum in a viewing booth during trials, but with digital
it's the poor image quality that your stranded with upon the initial
conversion process regardless of the tools used. I realize we have the
ability to revert without destroying the original captured data,
yeeha! assuming you can recreate the good moves and compensate for the
bad decisions one initially made.
Today it's like your handed this shoe box full of crapola and forced
to pound the content into submission. I know the more you have to push
the more the image breaks down. This is a major step back in my head,
don't get me wrong, digital is the way to go but holy jesus! the
effort it takes to optimize and sharpen that raw data is painful. Now
if your divorced from the shoot itself like I am, your having to reach
inside the authors head and extrapolate from that "hi-end" digitally
captured data and target the vision and expectations of the artist.
Outside of hovering over the shoulder as they hit the button and
taking a mental picture, I'm still baffled by the tools and workflow.

Have you ever wondered why a 10+ Mpixels RAW file only weighs around 6 to
8
Mbytes (depending on the camera maker), while the same image in TIFF
weighs
30+ Mbytes ? Any CCD camera sensor only *captures* around 1/3 of the data
needed at a given resolution. That's the maximum you get.
In order to restore the *missing* data when processing a RAW file,
software
algorithms are applied (demosaicing). The better the algorithm the better
the image. (and there isn't a standard algorithm either, thus results may
vary...thus forget about *the original picture*)
In the end, that's all you get after spending $800+ on your professional
digital camera. ;))
For now i am oksy hoping they will come out with and updatet version for
the
raw conversion.
